amazing content
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Top as usual
A complete system to learn to take someone down in nogi even if you are not a wrestler.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:game changing from the first dvd.
as someone who never wrestled, this dvd is actively changing my stand up game every time.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Awesome as always. If you
Awesome as always. If you like Danaher's style, you'll like this as well. Cool to have options other than shooting, especially for older guys and guys that didn't grow up wrestling.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Makes a Difference
Some useful moves that are easy to integrate into your daily rolls taught in a complete manner.
Start pinning
I can't wait to add ageless top game to this video, the mechanics are cool to watch.
Now I want to wear red and stand in front of a bull.
Hearing John Danaher consider Ageless Jiu Jitsu for someone 35 or up like right in the middle of me being 35 just made my whole year, I cannot wait to connect this third part in the Standing2Ground series with Ageless No-Gi Top Game.
If you want to flip the bike upside down and spin the wheels for awhile, this is a great place to start.
I'll never see standing position the same after John Danaher's explanation about thinking of it in terms of defense, I personally hope he doesn't mind that I consider him a coach from afar and tell everyone about him, sometimes literally writing down the link to this site on pieces of paper... I think the last person that got one was a security guard that opened a door for me.
Excellent stuff
Changed my takedown game
BJJ Specific Takedowns
Although Danaher has no wrestling background, this instructional does a fantastic job of breaking down many different takedowns to a level that is accessible to most athletes. Excellent video
This standing2ground series is exceptionnal
Thanks fot this great series

Perfect complement to Professor Danaher's first Ageless Jiu Jitsu Series. The Older/Less Athletic section alone is worth the price! I purchased several clinch/upper body wrestling instructional to try to weave something together. As an Athlete of Aging practicing Jiu Jitsu this takedown instruction and the Ageless series is a Godsend! Tension between my Professors has been high because they interpreted my inability to do athletic takedowns as "not listening" versus 56 year old knees. The curriculum should be required for all coaches and instructors! The fact is... trade offs between techniques to master and time of the learning curve need to be made when you have less time on the planet!
Upper Bady Takedowns
Excellent for less athletic people
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Judo

Response from BJJ Fanatics:fire:Standing2Ground Upper Body Takedowns
As a 61 year old Purple Belt I believe this instructional is what I have been looking for to take people down. Excellent is all I can say.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Learned alot
Amazing instructional. Well worth the money.
Thank you John Danaher
Thanks for your devotion to the progression of this sport. Your work has transformed this sport from a tough guy game to a thinking man’s game. THANK YOU!
Professor Danaher does it again
I consider myself a mediocre wrestler at best, yet this series has really helped my understanding of upper body takedowns and setups which I’ve had great success in applying it in the training room. I highly recommend this series Jitsu practitioners of all levels.
Thank you Danaher
For a person who doesn’t like shooting much, this instructional is going to fit nicely into my game. Danaher is the goat and as always his instruction is very well explained and very detail oriented. Even for a beginner like myself I can apply these techniques easily and immediately into my game.
